Does it make them taste of marmite, or merely enhance the innate lushness of roasties?

interesting
this eek I want to make some garlic and balsamic roast pork I might give this a go with the spuds. I was going to attempt to make an apple chutney to go with it. Ive never ventured into chutneys but I think it would go exceptionally well with the pork.

Dude, that rocks. As a committed vegetarian (they let me out at weekends though, if I take the pills) something that gives roasties a bit of the old meaty flavour lost when not using animal fat is a cracking thing.

Herbsman. said:Would it work with Toastmate?
Likely not. I imagine Toastmate has an in-built override to stop you using it for anything other than a toast spread. Because you should be using fed on organic corn, pampered in hotels, massaged weekly goose fat for your roasties, if you are anything like Mr W-T.

you have marmite we have vegemite,its still a yeast extract yes?
Try putting it on your next roast chicken,makes it heaps crispy and the flavour is unreal.

take me to the feeling
Presumably you just chuck a couple of teaspoons of the stuff into the oil before you put the roasting tray in the oven to heat up.

Belushi said:Marmite improves any recipe
Warning No it doesn't. I was once lined up for a lovely snog and grope with someone I fancy a lot. But she is allergic to Marmite it makes her yack. She came round for dinner and I was just about to give her a snog and her fella said 'you had Marmite toast earlier didn't you?' Then I remembered what I should have remembered and not had Marmite that day as I then missed out on a snog.
So please remember this cautionary tale Marmite doesn't improve every recipie and can ruin your sex life temporarily.

I didn't know about this tip. I might try it sometime. But it reminded me of another tip I saw on telly one time when that chef who speaks too quickly and advertises for Sainsbury's, said to put balsamic vinegar in them. I forgot to try that one, and will do so.
Since I rarely cook roast potatoes these days, it may be a while before I get round to the marmite ones....

Don't you have a toothbrush and toothpaste?
For us plebs who can't be arsed & get Auntie Betty to do our spuds, I'm wondering whether a little squeeze from a squeezy marmite jar on top of each spud when they go in will also do the trick? The marmite blob should melt & dribble over the spud.
mmmmm....dribbly marmite spuds....
